Unless they made fake fibreglass insulation just for this, his hands will be in permanent pain.

You're supposed to wear gloves and a mask to stop millions of tiny strands of glass embedding themselves under your skin and in your lungs

    Not sure if you guys haven't ever actually worked with fiberglass, or are trying to make it sound significantly worse than it is to prove a point....

    No, you wash your hands after touching fiberglass, have a shower, and by the morning you won't even realize your mistake. Itll be an itchy few hours, but its not gonna shred your hands, and it won't cause permanent damage either.

    Your lungs will be a bit worse for wear, and you should wear gloves/respirator, but for a couple minutes or photo op or even to move around your own attic you'll be fine.

    Life is permanent pain. Gloves and a mask has never helped me recover from life.
